AbstractBars are the most important features that redistribute angular momentum and drive secular evolution in disk galaxies. We have derived the distribution of bar strengths in spirals and the Fourier properties of early-type galaxy bars in order to evaluate recent models of bar-halo angular momentum transfer and external gas accretion. A few results are presented here.
